- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Financial Statements of the HSE
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Marc MacSharry: Yes. Will the HSE ask the Department of Health, perhaps through the Minister, to define "consultant" in the Medical Practitioners Act. Clearly, this is a problem because it is not provided for. My final question is regional. It is a point similar to the representatives from the south east. A cardiac catheterisation laboratory was going to be based in the north west. It was announced...

Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Marc MacSharry: What is the outlook on that proposal? I understand a letter is going from Mr. Breslin's office today to Waterford. That is good news. Did any such letter leave his office relating to Sligo?

Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Marc MacSharry: What is the state of play? It has been announced many times in the media by various political interests. I am interested to know whether it is political spin or waffle and whether is it coming.

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Marc MacSharry: The Minister would have been wrong to say he was putting a cardiac catheterisation laboratory facility there. Is that the case?

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Marc MacSharry: That is different to what is stated in the newspapers. I thank Mr. Woods for clarifying the position.
- Topical Issue Debate: Protected Disclosures (10 Jul 2018)
Marc MacSharry: The vice president of Cork Institute of Technology said the college attempted to engage but that the individual did not engage. That is a lie, quite frankly. This person went to the chair of the board of CIT, the chairman of the audit committee, the vice president of strategy, the head of the school and faculty, the vice president and the registrar. All these approaches occurred in 2012...
- Topical Issue Debate: Protected Disclosures (10 Jul 2018)

- Topical Issue Debate: Protected Disclosures (10 Jul 2018)
Marc MacSharry: Thank you for your suggestion, a Cheann Comhairle. I know you have my best interests at heart but I am thinking about the taxpayer.
- Topical Issue Debate: Protected Disclosures (10 Jul 2018)
Marc MacSharry: In order that there can be no doubt, I can testify that the whistleblower is sane, highly competent and skilled in the area of governance and that she was thrown under the bus. I will give the email to which Deputy Alan Kelly referred to the Minister of State as soon as I conclude in order that she will definitely have it. We need to start by paying the person's salary and backdating it....
- Topical Issue Debate: Vaccine Damage Compensation Scheme (11 Jul 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this matter for discussion and I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Daly, to the House. This matter relates to issues arising in regard to the Pandemrix vaccination for swine flu some years ago, but I want to put on record my unequivocal support for vaccination when vaccines are available. That said, my ambition is to...
- Topical Issue Debate: Vaccine Damage Compensation Scheme (11 Jul 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I thank the Minister of State for his reply but it does not answer the questions. I am informed that the State Claims Agency has spent €2 million rigorously defending discovery alone in cases. Have we learned nothing from more recent crises involving people who have lost their lives or will lose their lives? Ministers need to take a much more hands-on role in regard to how the State...
- Topical Issue Debate: Vaccine Damage Compensation Scheme (11 Jul 2018)
Marc MacSharry: I ask that the Minister of State seek with the Department of Finance, through the NTMA and the SCA, to desist from costly defences in these cases, engage and offer immediate mediation, and put in place an appropriate compensation scheme for the girls and boys, young women and young men-----
